Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, imported to the UK in 1981, features a 4.9 V8 engine (originally Turbo, now naturally aspirated), a three-speed automatic transmission, and a Targa top. While the bodywork has been restored, some cosmetic imperfections and a bonnet fitment issue exist; mechanically sound but could use a tune-up.
Condition
6
The car presents well for its age with a fabulous deep gloss on the bodywork, but there are signs of wear including marks, cracks and small blisters. The bonnet fitment is also an issue. Mechanically, it starts, stops, and runs, but would benefit from a tune-up.
